Boardmasters Festival Cancelled
Please be aware that due to severe weather warnings (delete where applicable) Boardmasters Festival has been cancelled.
Newquay Town Council advises those who do not have accommodation booked, not to travel down to Newquay as there is no further accommodation available. Those who were due to camp in the Boardmasters fields will no longer be able to do so due to severe weather.
Boardmasters will be in contact re. refunds in due course, so please keep an eye on your emails or keep in contact with 3^{rd} party sellers.
For those who have booked accommodation, Newquay is still very much open for business. Just because Boardmasters is cancelled, it doesn't mean Newquay is cancelled! There is still lots to see and do, please see the visitnewquay.org website for some ideas and inspiration.
